BURG, PENNSYl 'NI,

E Fon Heren@ DEVlC Be it known that, we, (.HAnLEe R. KNAPP and VrinGn. Iditrnonrfixn, residents oi' Pittsburg, in the county of fille/$110115T and Smilie oi Pennsylvania., have invented n new and nsoful Improvement iii Devices 'for introducing; Glass to Leers and we do hereby declare the 'following to be n l'nll, clear, and exact desoription thereof.

Our invention relaes to n device for introducing glassware to leere.

Oneof the main obj erts of our invenion is to provide for the transfer ol' each piece of were es ii; comes along on the wn-re-Gnrrier, and the moving of the seine into proper position wifah reference to the preceding one, so es to lorni e continuous line of were wit-hour. blank spaces, even though each tray of the were-carrier es it comes to the trensfer-point does no1', carry n piece of were.

Another o lijectvof enr invention is 15ev pro- VVide means imnsferring the were from die Were-ConVeyei in such n manner that the were Ywill be eornefyed to the leer-pens in ooneerni're order, so ns to insure the different articles oi 'were being 'plaeed ai. proper inter visie apart end the seme time so that, ell .lie-bility of theware boing upset in transfer ie the leer will be ob'rinted.

To these ends our invention eon'iprises, generally snlze'cl, n. waio-enrrier adepte-d to bring the were up into posizion to be trenelei-red totlie leer, und mechanism operated by @zich piece olE were itself for receiving; the ware nndndvnneing it. by e step-bjJ-step movementy lingthwiso of l'he pens oi Jche leer, whereby the eevernlpiecee of were are er ranged sido by sido und in regular and rontinnone order along' the prin ol' the leer.

'To enable others skilled in the artA to .ineke :ind-'nee our invention, we will describe the neme more Tully, referring to the acrompeny ing .lr:i.win;:s, in which-m Fignre 1 is :L plan View, partly broken im :my :ind partly in section, ol' our improved epperzilnns.

rate niches to receive cach piece of ware as it is ted to the tiansler mechanism.

Extending up through the slot 23 in the plate or shelf 22 is the arin 30, said arni being' l keyed to the shaft 31.

Mounted on the shalt 31 are the disks 32, having the notches 33. Secured lto the shalt 34 parallel with ausl slightly above the shaft 31 is the bell-crank lever 35. One'ai'in 36 of said hell-crank le- Ver has the weight 'lsccured thereto. rlhe short arm 3b' of the bell-crunk lever has the hub 39 formed thereon, from each side ol which project the pins 4t), which are sui'- i'ounded by the casing containing;r ballbcarings41. These pins 10 noi'inallybear against the peripheries of the disks 32. The arin 3S is connected by the intermediate link 3S to the bell-crank 42 on the shalt 43 to the staiiilardy't-'lon the shaft 12. rlhe other ai'in of thef bell-crank -vt2 is connected to the pin 45, which passes through the guide 46 in the standztixl 44, the inner end of said pin enterv ing they recess 47 in the block 48.

This block is mounted on the t-hreaeed bar 5S), w hieh engages the brackets 60, seeuret to the. disk 50. By turning this bar 59, which passes through a, threaded opening' in the block 58, said block may be adjusted so as to change the position o'l` the inner end` of the. pitinan 57. 'the opposite end of' the pitiniiii 57 is secured to the crank 61 on the shalt (52.

Vln thisinanner power is applied to drive the convcyer 24 and impart an intermittent or stephy-step movement to saine. On the opposite end of the shaft 62 is the pinion (i8, which meshes with the 4ear-wheel (59, havinga predetermined nuinber of teeth, said grt-nsw heel 69 being mounted on the countei'sha{`t' 70. A disk 71 is also secured to the shaft 70, said disk having the notch 72. A bell-crank 73 has the weighted arm '74, a short ai'rn 75 ol' said bell-crank having' the linger 76, adapted to hein' against the peripheryY ol the disk 71. The iirni 75 is connecter?A by the rod 77 to the hell-crank 7S, which is adepted to operette :t pin 79 similar to the pin 45 o'l' the clutch mechanism at the opposite side ol the niachine. 1t is not deemed necessary to repeat the description o't` this clutch mechanism. which is exactly the saine as we previously described and mounted on the opposite end of the shett'l 12. A rod 8() connects the clutch mechanism on this side ot the machine with the crank Sl which has the iawl 82, adaptedl to engage the ratchet-whec S3 on the shaft $4, upon which the si'ii'ocket-wlieels 85 are mounted at the forward end of the leer and around which the chain Sti passes, to wh fh In this maiito the leer-pans, which are adapted to atl- Vance each time. a row ol'l ware has been zii'- ranged thereon by the tiiiiisl'er mechanism, all as 'fully hereinafter described.

ln Figs. lt),11,12,13,and 14 we have illustra teil means for operating the clutches electrically. In such case the trip-lever has secured thereto the contact 91, which is adapted to be thrown into contact with the opposite coi'itact-piece 92. ln this way the circuit is l'oi'nied and the coils of the solcnoids .)3 are magnet ized, whereby the cores 94 nre drawn in, said cores beiner connected at their outer ends by the cross-piece 95, to which is attached the pin 96. ln the path of the leross-pit-ce is the switch-fulgor 9S, by

which thc current is nitide to pass through the lamps .)tt whereby the coils are prevented `troni hurnineT out. ln this manner the pin is withdrawn electrically for the same purpose,

From the above it will be observed that the transfer mechanism only operates when there is e piece of were hrought up by the were-cerner in position for transfer. lf one of the trays of the Were-cerner comes along,r Without e pieceof were, no movement is imparted to the transiter. As e consequence'e continuous line .of were is elweys .maintained on the leer-pens and each succeeding piece of were moves up into proper position with reference to the preceding one. In like LII icl;
